FAQs

What type of running is the HOKA Clifton 10 designed for?

The HOKA Clifton 10 is best for daily road running, including everyday training sessions and long distances, thanks to its plush cushioning and lightweight design.

What is the cushioning like in the Clifton 10?

It features Plush cushioning provided by the CMEVA midsole and a moulded EVA sockliner, offering a very soft and comfortable feel underfoot.

How much does the HOKA Clifton 10 weigh?

The HOKA Clifton 10 weighs approximately 227g (for a women's UK 5), making it a lightweight option for a cushioned daily trainer.

What is the heel-to-toe drop for this shoe?

The HOKA Clifton 10 has an 8mm heel-to-toe drop, which contributes to a balanced and smooth ride.

Do I need to adjust my size for the Clifton 10?

Yes, if you're a returning HOKA user, it's recommended to go half a UK size down from your usual HOKA size. If you're new to HOKA, stick with your standard size.

How should I clean my HOKA Clifton 10 shoes?

Clean them using a soft brush, mild soap, and cold water. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemicals. Air dry away from direct heat or sunlight after removing the insoles.

Are these shoes suitable for walking or casual wear?

While primarily designed for running, the HOKA Clifton 10's plush cushioning and comfort make it an excellent choice for walking and general casual wear.

Troubleshooting

The shoe feels too big or too small, different from my usual HOKA size.

The Clifton 10 for women has an updated sizing. If you are a returning HOKA user, try going half a UK size down from your usual HOKA size. If you are new to HOKA, stick with your usual size. Ensure you try them on with your typical running socks.

My laces keep coming undone or the tongue slips during runs.

Ensure you are utilizing the double-lace lock tongue feature by lacing through both loops on the tongue. Experiment with different lacing techniques to find a secure fit that prevents slippage without causing pressure points.

I experience discomfort or hot spots on my feet.

Check your lacing for overtightening. Ensure you're wearing appropriate running socks. Break-in period is minimal, but some initial discomfort can occur. If persistent, re-evaluate sizing and consider custom insoles if necessary.

The cushioning feels less responsive over time.

Running shoe midsoles compress over use. While the CMEVA midsole is designed for durability, its plushness will naturally diminish after several hundred miles. This is a sign the shoes may be reaching the end of their lifespan and might need replacing.

The shoes smell unpleasant after runs.

Allow shoes to air out completely after each use. Remove insoles to facilitate drying. Occasionally clean them as per the care instructions. Consider using odor-absorbing inserts or sprays specifically designed for footwear.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Plush, Consistent Cushioning: Ideal for daily training and long-distance comfort.
  • Enhanced Stability and Secure Fit: Active Foot Frame and improved upper provide confidence on the road.
  • Lightweight for Its Category: Reduces overall effort during runs, especially over longer distances.
  • Durable Construction: Abrasion rubber outsole ensures longevity for frequent use.
  • Breathable Comfort: Jacquard knit upper keeps feet cool and comfortable.

Cons

  • Sizing Adjustment for Returning HOKA Users: May require going down half a UK size if you're already familiar with HOKA sizing.
  • Optimized for Road Running: Less suitable for off-road or technical trail conditions.
  • Plush Feel May Not Suit All Preferences: Runners desiring a firmer, more responsive ride might find it too soft.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Getting Started (Setup)

  1. Lacing: Utilize the double-lace lock tongue system to ensure a snug and secure fit. Adjust laces evenly across your foot to prevent pressure points and keep the tongue from shifting during your run.
  2. Sizing Check: Refer to the sizing advice below. It's crucial for the optimal fit and performance. Try them on with your typical running socks.
  3. Initial Wear: Wear your new Clifton 10s for short walks or light activities before your first run to allow your feet to adapt to their fit and feel.

Compatibility

  • Best Use: Exclusively designed for road running on asphalt, concrete, and paved surfaces.
  • Foot Type: Ideal for runners seeking a neutral ride with significant cushioning.
  • Terrain: Not recommended for technical trails, muddy paths, or highly uneven off-road conditions due to its outsole design and cushioning profile.

Care & Maintenance

Proper care extends the life of your HOKA Clifton 10s:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft brush, mild soap, and cold water to clean the upper and outsole. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing, as these can damage materials and adhesives. Air dry away from direct sunlight or heat.
  2. Drying: Remove insoles and stuff shoes with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape while air-drying.
  3. Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid leaving them in hot cars or near heating vents.
  4. Rotate: If you run frequently, consider rotating between two pairs of shoes to allow each pair to fully decompress and dry out, which can prolong their lifespan.
  5. Inspect: Regularly check the outsole for wear and tear, especially the inherently durable abrasion rubber areas, to know when they might need replacing.
